Sonos Play

[Beef]

I bought a set of Sonos Play 3's and SW network speakers. Expensive, but very nice. Great sound. If you have a good MP3 (etc) library you download the Sonos app to your PC, Tablet, smart phone, and everything can be played pretty seamlessly. You can get great sound from just 1 speaker, Play 1, Play 3 or Play 5. The play threes are the only ones you can make a mono left/right combo to fill a room. You can take them outside, as long as you stay in range of your network.

I still have my vintage Mitsubishi floor speakers - each speaker as an active and a passive 12-inch woofer. My iTunes library - lossyless AIFF for jazz and classical; 320 Kbps MP3 for everything else - runs off the Mac Mini through a Harmon-Karden receiver. Unfortunately, it does not cover the back yard like your set up ... :/
